I no longer have pets of any kind. I love dogs and the happiness they can bring, but they tend to have short lives while mine if pretty long in comparison. Can you imagine having a kid you are almost certain will die before he or she reaches their 21st birthday regardless of what you do or how much you spend? That's a dogs life to me..
I feel bad for you, your dog and family, but I've been through this too many times. Last dog I had was my best and only friend at the time, but I had no way to bring her with me to Ohio from Texas so I had to leave her behind and I cried for months over it. I haven't had a dog since. Now i just feed the birds and feral cats and let nature do what it does best.. I can't deal with the grief..
